There’s no question that pest management professionals (PMPs) are challenged with keeping growing rat populations under control. Luckily, SenesTech has innovative solutions that target the root cause of the problem — reproduction. Instead of trying to keep up with the growing numbers of an infestation, SenesTech’s contraceptive baits control the entire rat population by restricting their fertility for more sustainable results.
SenesTech solutions complement other rodent control products and enhance results. While rodenticides can knock down the population quickly, any remaining survivors can quickly repopulate because of rats’ short reproductive cycles, large litter sizes, and ability to reinvade new areas. Fertility control prevents rats from increasing their numbers for an outcome that is more effective and long-term. This addition to your Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program helps avoid the frustration of spending time, money, and labor in reducing your rat population, only to have your hard work reversed.
Additionally, rodenticides can become less effective over time due to rodent behavior, bait aversion, genetic resistance, or increased tolerance. Rats that survive in the population are typically the ones that won’t consume rodenticides or learn to outsmart traps. Adding another control strategy that will target these rats is beneficial. Contraceptive bait that lacks negative side effects is advantageous for an IPM program because it won’t cause rats to become bait averse, so they continue to consume it. The more the rats consume, the greater the results.
SenesTech’s innovative solutions proactively address the source of the problem while working in tandem with other rodent control products. Ultimately, this improves your IPM program to deliver better results to customers and improve customer satisfaction.
